What Tintin on the Moon is

Tintin on the Moon is an arcade game developed by Infogrames Europe and released in 1989. It is available on Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST/STE, Commodore C64/128/MAX, DOS and ZX Spectrum.

The premise, in the publisher's words

A more accurate title for the game would be 'Tintin Gets to the Moon', as reaching it is your challenge. The game is split into two distinct types of sections; the first of these involves guiding the rocket through space. Steer it to avoid contact with asteroids, and to collect eight red spheres. Yellow spheres boost energy, and so should be collected. This is followed by a platform-based battle, as the evil Captain Jurgen has tied up several crew members, planted time bombs, and started several fires. Use your extinguisher on Jurgen and the fires, and touch the bombs and crew members to solve those problems. Turn gravity off to reach the more troublesome bombs.
